Technical Abstract

The devices, systems, and methods described herein enable automatically configuring an electronic device using artificial intelligence (AI). The devices, systems, and methods enable accessing telemetry data representing device usage data, inputting the accessed telemetry data into machine learning models that are matched to device metadata, and determining notifications to publish to components of the electronic device. The notifications represent events predicted to occur on the electronic device. The notifications are published to the components of the electronic device such that the electronic device is configured according to the published notifications. The determined notifications enable the identification of optimal settings for the electronic device based on the usage pattern of the device and enable components of the electronic device to preemptively take action on events which are predicted to occur in the future.

Claim 4

Original Legal Text

4. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the information that is associated with at least one of the electronic device or the user of the electronic device and used to update the received at least one machine learning model is unknown to the cloud service.

Plain English Translation

This invention relates to privacy-preserving machine learning in electronic devices, addressing the challenge of improving local machine learning models without exposing sensitive user or device data to cloud services. The system involves an electronic device that receives at least one machine learning model from a cloud service.

Plain English Translation

This invention relates to predictive hardware management in electronic devices using machine learning. The system collects telemetry data from an electronic device, such as usage patterns, performance metrics, and environmental conditions. A machine learning model processes this data to predict future hardware usage, such as component wear, performance degradation, or optimal configurations. Based on these predictions, the system generates notifications or alerts about the hardware's expected behavior. The system then configures the hardware with applications or settings tailored to the predicted usage, optimizing performance and longevity. For example, if the model predicts increased CPU demand, the system may preload relevant applications or adjust power settings. The machine learning model is periodically updated with new telemetry data to improve accuracy. The system ensures efficient hardware utilization by proactively adapting to anticipated usage patterns, reducing downtime and enhancing device performance.
